I have to admit when I go just down the street to pick up what ver at the convienence store I don't put on the seat belt but any farther than that and it goes on. always feel like I am "locked in" and ready for some spirited driving when I am buckled up.

I don't understand this. Why is it such a big deal to put on a seatbelt? It should come as second nature to every licensed driver on the road. On a side note, I want to thank GM for making this car as safe as it is. It's amazing how many people make it out of Camaro crashes alive.

Putting the death, injury and stupidity of not wearing seat belts aside for a minute to talk about the money part of this.

We that do wear seat belts are forced to pay for those that don't wear them. Our auto and medical insurance rates have the costs for these individuals factored into them. So the next time some idiot injures or kills himself and this kids, not only is it a sad and needless loss, but the rest of us get the privilege for paying more each month from our own budgets on insurance.

I've had two very close calls in the past two days.... both within 5 miles from my house. Both involved idiots pulling out in front of me without looking for oncoming traffic. As for seatbelt use, I always buckle up even though I hate the shoulder belt in my convertible. It hits me across my neck NO matter how I have the seat adjusted. Small price to pay to drive such a neat car.
